How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe property is a hidden gem, a lovely century house filled with eclectic furnishings, surrounded by lovely gardens where hummingbirds frequent. The multi-course breakfast was among the best meals we enjoyed on our vacation. Our hostess was lovely, friendly, accommodating and welcoming to myself and my partner - we'd recommend this B&B to all who are seeking a safe, relaxing, quiet getaway.
It should be noted in the room descirption if the toilet/shower is in the bedroom, without any privacy screen or curtain.
Thanx for the feed back I will take a look at room description. The bathroom shows up in the photos. I tried to change the description but you have to check a box regarding the bathroom. I will contact them soon to see if I able to change description. Cheers Mel

Verified reviewMel is a wonderful host, just bubbling with hospitality! At first the house and furnishing were a little over-whelming but after a bit we came to love it all! We love its history! And Mel's breakfasts were out of this world! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other couples we shared breakfast with. We had a wonderful stay!
Our room did not have a separate bathroom. A shared bathroom would have been OK with us.
It was great to have you guys. Such light eaters though lol. Enjoy the rest of your travels. Cheers Mel

Verified reviewWe had a delightful stay at Hummingbird Gardens. Melani is a wonderful host, friendly, helpful and interesting to chat with. She makes excellent breakfasts daily and has lots of suggestions for things to do in the area. The house is gorgeous with a massive wraparound deck where you can sit and relax. Her dogs greet you when you arrive and are always happy to meet new friends. It was a great vacation and we'll be back for sure.
thanx for spending 5 days with me I know you enjoyed 😉 😊 the coffee ☕️

Verified reviewMel is an amazing host with a really fantastic old house B&B. The breakfasts were delicious and the beds super comfortable. Lots of little details went into making our stay super pleasant and welcoming. Thanks, Mel!
Mel's place is a bit far away from other things. This can be good or not so good depending on what you are going for. It's about a 10-15 beautiful drive to the main road 😁
Glad you enjoyed my old house LOL. Relaxing with no road noise priceless LOL. Hope to see you guys again. Cheers Mel
